In My Own Words
I am an innovative and self-motivated individual with 15+ years of design experience and a proven track record of success. From high-level brand strategy to translating market trends, I have created fresh content for fast paced companies such as Burton, Reebok, and Trek Bicycles. [ A Little Bit More: ] • I grew up in Vermont and therefore am obsessed with maple syrup • I am an avid snowboarder • I used to be the lead singer of an 80s cover band • My first car accident was with a black bear • I have taken up surfing • I can recite all 50 states in alphabetical order • I drive a 1979 black and gold Trans Am • I have done improv comedy • I love fashion, interior design, mid-century modern, and mood boards • I have seen a blue-footed Booby in the wild • I once lived in a haunted house, but still not sure if I believe in ghosts
